[Documentation](https://docs.webp.sh/) | [Website](https://webp.sh/) | [Blog](https://blog.webp.se/)
This is a Server based on Golang, which allows you to serve WebP images on the fly.
Currently supported image format: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG, HEIC, NEF, WEBP
> e.g When you visit `https://your.website/pics/tsuki.jpg`，it will serve as `image/webp`/`image/avif` format without changing the URL.
>
> GIF image will not be converted to AVIF format because the converted AVIF image is not animated.
## Usage with Docker(recommended)
We strongly recommend using Docker to run WebP Server Go because running it directly with the binary may encounter issues with `glibc` and some dependency libraries, which can be quite tricky to resolve.
Make sure you've got Docker and `docker-compose` installed, create a directory and create `docker-compose.yml` file inside it like this:
```yml
version: '3'
services:
webp:
image: webpsh/webp-server-go
# image: ghcr.io/webp-sh/webp_server_go
restart: always
volumes:
- ./path/to/pics:/opt/pics
- ./exhaust:/opt/exhaust
- ./metadata:/opt/metadata
ports:
- 127.0.0.1:3333:3333
```
Suppose your website and image has the following pattern.
| Image Path | Website Path |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `/var/www/img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg` | `https://img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg` |
Then
* `./path/to/pics` should be changed to `/var/www/img.webp.sh`
* `./exhaust` is cache folder for output images, by default it will be in `exhaust` directory alongside with `docker-compose.yml` file, if you'd like to keep cached images in another folder, you can change `./exhaust` to `/some/other/path/to/exhaust`
* `./metadata` is cache folder for images' metadata, by default it will be in `metadata` directory alongside with `docker-compose.yml` file
Start the container using:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Now the server should be running on `127.0.0.1:3333`, visiting `http://127.0.0.1:3333/path/tsuki.jpg` will see the optimized version of `/var/www/img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg`, you can now add reverse proxy to make it public, for example, let Nginx to `proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3333/;`, and your WebP Server is on-the-fly!
## Custom config
If you'd like to use a customized `config.json`, you can follow the steps in [Configuration | WebP Server Documentation](https://docs.webp.sh/usage/configuration/) to genereate one, and mount it into the container's `/etc/config.json`, example `docker-compose.yml` as follows:
```yml
version: '3'
services:
webp:
image: webpsh/webp-server-go
# image: ghcr.io/webp-sh/webp_server_go
restart: always
volumes:
- ./path/to/pics:/opt/pics
- ./path/to/exhaust:/opt/exhaust
- ./path/to/metadata:/opt/metadata
- ./config.json:/etc/config.json
ports:
- 127.0.0.1:3333:3333
```
You can refer to [Configuration | WebP Server Documentation](https://docs.webp.sh/usage/configuration/) for more info, such as custom config, AVIF support etc.
## Advanced Usage
If you'd like to use with binary, please consult to [Use with Binary(Advanced) | WebP Server Documentation](https://docs.webp.sh/usage/usage-with-binary/)
> spoiler alert: you may encounter issues with `glibc` and some dependency libraries.
For `supervisor` or detailed Nginx configuration, please read our documentation at [https://docs.webp.sh/](https://docs.webp.sh/)
## WebP Cloud Services
We are currently building a new service called [WebP Cloud Services](https://webp.se/), it now has three parts:
* [Public Service](https://public.webp.se)
* GitHub Avatar/Gravater reverse proxy with WebP optimization, for example, change `https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/09eba3a443a7ea91cf818f6b27607d66` to `https://gravatar.webp.se/avatar/09eba3a443a7ea91cf818f6b27607d66` for rendering will get a smaller version of gravater, making your website faster
* Totally free service and currently has a large number of users, this includes, but is not limited to [CNX Software](https://www.cnx-software.com/), [Indienova](https://indienova.com/en)
* [WebP Cloud](https://docs.webp.se/webp-cloud/)
* No need to install WebP Server Go yourself, especially suitable for static websites.
* Image Conversion: WebP Cloud converts images to WebP/AVIF format, reducing size while maintaining quality for faster website loading.
* Example 1: Original image URL (https://yyets.dmesg.app/api/user/avatar/BennyThink) becomes compressed URL (https://vz4w427.webp.ee/api/user/avatar/Benny).
* Example 2: Original image URL (https://yyets.dmesg.app/api/user/avatar/BennyThink) becomes a thumbnail image using URL (https://vz4w427.webp.ee/api/user/avatar/BennyThink?width=200).
* Caching: WebP Cloud automatically caches served images, reducing traffic and bandwidth load on the origin server.
* [Fly](https://webp.se/fly/)
* We call this service Fly, with the aim of providing a public and free service that users can experience without registering on WebP Cloud.
As this is a public service, some limitations compared to WebP Cloud are imposed:
- Fly supports a maximum original image size of 8MB, while WebP Cloud supports up to 80MB.
- Fly cache time is 1 day, while WebP Cloud has unlimited time (can be manually cleared at any time).
- It does not support parameters like `blur`, `sharpen` for image processing.
- And that’s it.
